What is Enhanced Domain in Salesforce and Its Impact in Brief

What is Enhanced Domain?

The most recent version of My Domain that meets the most recent browser requirements are referred to as enhanced domains. With enhanced domains, your organization's URLs, including those for your Experience Cloud sites, Salesforce Sites, Visualforce pages, and content files, contain your company-specific My Domain name. To meet the most recent security standards, this feature alters domain suffixes—the part after My Domain name. Enhanced My Domain URLs don't change when your org moves to a new Salesforce instance because they don't have instance names. This makes them easier for users to remember. In Winter '24, enhanced domains will be required in all orgs because they meet the most recent browser requirements.

In Winter '24, Salesforce makes enhanced domains mandatory for all orgs. With Winter '23, Salesforce put this feature into sandbox and non-production orgs to help you test it. Sandboxes, demo orgs, Developer Edition orgs, free orgs, patch orgs, Trailhead Playgrounds orgs, and trial orgs are all examples of non-production orgs. With Spring and Summer 23, this feature is made available to all orgs. You can quit the programmed sending of improved areas in Spring '23 through an organization level setting. You can disable enhanced domains until this feature is made available in Winter 24.See Salesforce Help's Enhanced Domains Timeline for additional details.

In a production organization, the following are some My Domain URL formats with enhanced domains. The login URL remains unchanged in the absence of enhanced domains, but the other URLs change. Because it contains the word "sandbox," the login URL for a sandbox changes when enhanced domains are used.
